Ok FD. Now you're starting to piss me off.

The clueless folks coming in here are warned long in advance. It's called Death Valley. Remember? What's your point? Do you want someone out there holding there clueless simpleminded hands? Are you suggesting they are actually that simpleminded? Perhaps they shouldn't be allowed out of their own driveways?

After everything else we were just subjected to and thought all the hits were done we found, quite by surprise, that we were completely without any type of outside communication for a day and a half. Nothing going out, nothing coming in. Then we were told we would have no communication until after the 31st of this month. Do you have any clue what that does to business? Do you understand that business is what keeps these people fed out here? Do you know that most people out here have no cash reserves and are not getting paid because there is no business? Do you know that many of these people have children who need to be fed? Xanterra is doing all they can to feed these people but they are not paying anyone who is not working. What do suppose the ramifications of that might be?

Has that ever happened at your house? Has any of the stuff that has happened to us recently ever happened at your house? I come back in here to find that you are picking on us for not preventing an act of God. I'm starting to take this personal.

If you think every soul coming into this place needs a warning, why don't you go out there in the middle of the desert and give it to them? Why don't you do it?

Where in the wash, exactly, do you want to put that extra ranger, that doesn't exist? Seeing as how that ranger doesn't exist... Why don't you do it?

I've lived in the midwest where specifically trained storm chasers with big bank rolls and real fancy vehicles chase storms. They drive on paved farm roads that go everywhere back there. Out here, you will see neither roads like that nor those narrowly skilled people. You want people to chase storms out here? Why don't you do it?

You want all these video recorders on the road out here? If you want them in government vehicles, should my tax money pay for that, or yours? If you are suggesting private vehicles, why don't you empower them yourself and use your own money? Why don't you do it?

You argue for valuable footage. Valuable to whom?

Back to the point. You seem to have all the answers, I guess you also have all the money. Why don't you come out here and put your money where your mouth is? Why don't you do it?

It't rougher out here than, apparently, you can imagine. And I'm getting tired. I certainly can't speak for everyone out here, but I've noticed others being tired as well. Knock it off.
